Don't be fooled by Animal Crossing: New Leaf's cute and cuddly façade. Beneath those happy smiles and talking anteaters, there lies an intricate web of economic models and complex systems that would make a Wall Street analyst break out in a cold sweat. You can build a fruit empire. You can gamble on the turnip stock exchange. You can make a fortune from fish, or make your mint with hybrid fl...

Shack News: "More than most other series in Nintendo's library, Animal Crossing is iterative. Since its Gamecube debut, each installment has made very minor tweaks and improvements to the last, culminating (so far) in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This one's twist on the familiar isn't quite enough to make the experience feel completely fresh, but the friendship simulator is still a welcoming place to while away some time."

Pocket Gamer: Whenever I'm asked why I adore the Animal Crossing series, I find it incredibly tough to explain the appeal to someone who hasn't played it. After all, who would believe that the joy of collecting the last fossil in a set of dinosaur remains can evoke the raw thrill of winning a hard-fought group battle in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate? Or that when a new shop opens in the town, it's as joyous a moment as making it through a tricky mine cart sequence in Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D?

Ben Salter of MMGN: Im sitting on a train just minding my own business as the world rushes past. Quietly shitting my pants. With nothing but the clothes on my back and a cheap haircut, I have a terrible secret. Out of desperation to threats from the mob, I agreed to take the position of Mayor of Stirls, a lazy town monoplosied by the greedy Nook corporation that, for some reason, is baron of qualified applicants. Its clueless citizens are too enthralled by cherries to realise they are being scammed by a conniving realtor and what I think are his two sons from a scandalous affair.

Chris Buffa (Modojo): Nintendo's Animal Crossing series is somewhat of a tough sell because it strays outside the video game norm that involves shooting monsters, racing sports cars and solving puzzles. Inevitably, some folks simply won't get it, as was the case with the original GameCube version in 2001. Imagine a college senior gushing about living with anthropomorphic animals, only to watch dumbfounded as friends scratched their heads and left to play something with guns and swords. It was basically PaRappa the Rapper all over again; I received plenty of confused stares over that one too.

Hello there! Apparently, my name is Mayor Squashie, that's correct, I have hung up my boots as the Editor of Nintendo Feed and I've retired to be the Mayor of a little town called Greenly. I received my copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf around mid-May and I've been playing pretty much none-stop since then. I'll be sharing my exciting adventures as the Mayor of Greenly with you through my weekly Journal.
